Customer Reviews

Great simple entertainment
This got my 3 1/2 year old laughing in delight at the silly results of his page choices. He would not let me put it down, and though I had initialy bought it as a present for someone else, i will have to buy another copy. He was thrilled to know which stories the pages came from, and mixing them up brought him great entertainment. A big hit.

The perfect gift
I can't think of a more wonderful gift for any child. This book has everything - from lovely illustrations to a link to familiar fairytales, great opportunity for humour, creativity .... what more could one want? My daughter has entertained herself and the whole rest of the family endlessly with this book and it's such a pleasure as a parent, too, to be able to sit down and have some fun with fairy tales from a slightly different perspective.

A brilliant, high quality children's book!
This is yet another of Hilary Robinson's fabulous children's books and as a Pre-School (Nursery) teacher, it's one that I love sharing with children and a book they relish. The delicious pleasure and the infectious laughter they explode with from the hilarious permutations of the stories is a delight to share.
Well done Hilary and Nick...this is a brilliant book that even the adults get a great giggle from as they read it to their children!
LOVE IT!!
